Fighting censorship with punycode!

symboldomain · 09-27-2010, 08:13 AM

Can you elaborate more about what has happened here?

e.g...

Is this your domain?
What notification have you had that it was being "censored", and by whom?

Regards,

The t-shirt company refuses to print the domain name on the product. So, voila, a punycode t-shirt.

then find a different t-shirt company. Nothing more than an attempt at publicity IMHO.

We have enough pubilcity, we get it every single day through typeins and links to the site from all over the world, based purely on the popularity of the domain name.

In fact, we've made the news in several European countries, without sending out a single press release.

considering the symbol it's not that surprising, most would associate it with nazi germany, although as it stands most would not know what it meant as a t shirt

Yep, and an effective one

Furthermore, the "censored" shirt punycode is short enough to kinda remember, and more importantly, unlike the symbol itself, xn--zkr can be easily typed-in using any standard keyboard.

In addition, Google, at least for now, will also automatically show instant results for that punycode query, and even converting it to the symbol.
